The Effect of Plasma Electrocautery on Sexual Function and Inflammatory Cytokine Levels in Patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Objective To investigate the effects of plasma assisted resection of the prostate in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods A total of 110 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who visited the hospital from March 2022 to January 2024 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group used a random number table method,with 55 patients in each group.The control group used a regular electrocautery,while the experimental group used a plasma electrocautery.The perioperative indicators(intraoperative blood loss,surgery time,catheterization time,hospital stay),incidence of sexual dysfunction(decreased libido,decreased penile hardness,erectile dysfunction,ejaculation dysfunction),levels of inflammatory factors(tumor necrosis factor-α)(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),IL-2,IL-6,and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results The experimental group had less intraoperative bleeding than the control group,and the operation time and indwelling time of the urinary catheter were shorter than those of the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05);The incidence of sexual dysfunction in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);On postoperative day 1,the levels of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-2,and IL-6 in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);The incidence of complications in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Plasma electrosurgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia can reduce body damage,promote postoperative recovery,lower the incidence of sexual dysfunction and complications,and inhibit levels of inflammatory factors.
